:gathering:she looks good and the interior is perfect however i have 2 issues which i hope my m8 can sort next week

the discs on the front are not good and the rears arent wearing properly, needless to say when i break hard the pedal hits the floor and i can feel it grinding!!! i can hear a relay click sometimes???

i also have a knock which sounds like something hollow hitting the underside of the car to the rear??? any ideas!!! its more on bumpy / curvy roads???

other than that the first owner serviced her every 6 months and there are only tiny bits of rust!!!

Distinct lack of pads?

It's either exhaust or worn bushes for the knocking... I'd probably be concentrating on the brakes though ;)

i thought it may be the bushes as the exhaust seems pretty solid.

the guy who had it before put new pads on the rear even thought the disks arent worn all the way across!!!

the front discs are rusted to buggery!!!

hope its just that lot, gutted, av to drive slow for fear of not stoppin!!!

lookin at green stuff disks and pads all round on ebay for £150, good or bad idea, how much would it cost to replace the lot with standard discs and pads??
